Forbidden Fruit

Ain’t that the way it always starts? -

A simple round of conversation

Becomes a subtle flirtation

A suggestion, an invitation;

Torturous tantalization…

 

Hey -

 

What ill wind blew you round my way?

What is this game you want to play?

All those delicious words you say;

Lies -

So sweet…

 

Hush, now; settle down

Garments falling to the ground

Shame, shame, go away

Come again another day -

Hush, now; settle down

It’s baser instincts presiding

Jekyll’s gone into Hydeing

Heart on heart,

A two-track beat

On and on, and on repeat

Faster, faster - crushing heat

Sweaty bodies, dusty feet

And faster, and faster, faster go

Anticlimax the crescendo…

 

Everything freezes for a fraction;

A little shudder, a contraction;

A little sigh of satisfaction…

 

Hey -

 

C’mon, now, look the other way

There’s nothing more for us to say

Zipping noises, trouser hoisting -

Eyes avoiding.

 

Hush, now; settle down

Button up, don’t make a sound

Shame, shame; Go away!

Come again some other day

Use me up, spit me out

Leave me spent and broken on the ground

Shame, shame, here to stay

All over me - I can’t escape

Shame, shame, all over me

Like your lipstick on my skin...
